Changing the Texas State Board of Education

In the last few months, the documentary The Revisionairies has been playing at festivals and art house theatres and showing the events around the last set of revisions of the Texas K-12 education standards.

Well, the contentious Texas State Board of Education shown in that film could be getting a complete scrub. All fifteen seats are up for re-election, and seven incumbents are not running again, meaning almost half the faces on the board will be new.
